...Since I count myself as one of these would-be politicians, I too have done quite a bit of speculating on what value, if any, my name might play in a future campaign. In my Undergraduate Council campaign earlier this year, I plastered Eliot House with posters featuring a huge letter "J." The eye-catching simplicity worked and I was elected...
...opening skirmish in this battle could have been uglier. The Allied Pilots Association last week voted at first to see if they should join the strike. They decided later not to count the votes because the flight attendants were so successful at interrupting American's flight operations. American chairman Robert Crandall, however, made no friends among his pilots after telling industry analysts, "If the pilots were in charge, Columbus would still be in port."

In Seattle a sign counts the dollars Americans are allegedly saving by using MCI; one sign in New York City tallies the national debt and another the growing audience for Les Miserables; and in Washington a sign adds up those who have lost health insurance since Clinton's address to Congress on health reform...

Everyone agrees the 400 or so summer people are mostly against the mine, but summer people don't count here or anyplace else. Winter people, real Cooke City people, are split more or less down the middle. Jack Williams, a folk artist who was hurt years ago in a mine cave-in, favors Crown Butte, and so does his wife Bertie. Carpenter Jim Barrett, head of a homegrown environmental group called the Beartooth Alliance, objects to being pushed around...
...boring movie, since every evil-looking character can quickly be dubbed a "goner." Why wait two hours to see it happen? The dialogue is almost nonexistent, unless witless one-liners count. For instance, a fair young maiden says to Aramis (Charlie Sheen) during a rather carnal Bible lesson: "When you started talking bout original sin, I lost control and became impassioned...
